Looks like I need to do some fast reading before its aired. All the more to scrutinize its inaccuracies. Its also been a long time since I have read the books.

I refuse to call it SyFy due to their logic is ridiculous. I find it interesting that a good majority of the cast from BSG are in a lot of USA/SciFi movies and shows.

Lev - "I'm doing a post about Riverworld." byron12 - "Oh, that's good. Throw in something about Penikett being on Dollhouse but don't mention BSG. That'll drive them nuts. Then I'll step in and fan the flames even more." Lev - "Why are we doing this again? To get me to watch BSG? For the hit count?" byron12 - "Nah. Just for funnsies."

There is no other way. Before this great Helo and Gaeta diss, peace might have been possible. But now, I feel a whole generation of posters must pass away before BSG can be forgotten.

I'm not sure what specifically I learned about sex from him, but I'm sure it wasn't Church Approved™. It didn't hurt that Freff's illustrations were practically porn - ooh, nipples! To this day I still see Halo as more of a riff on Titan than Ringworld, but I didn't know anyone who had read the books. On an aside, if you ever happen to come across a graphic novel called "D'Arc Tangent" by the aforementioned Freff and Phil Foglio, read it. It's the best beginning to a space swashbuckler ever, and a sad commentary on how bad business decisions can kill great art. I know exactly how you feel with Varley's Gaea books.

Dolls are a piece of cake compared to dating Cylons. Didn't Syfy already do some kind of Riverworld mini-series a few years back? (When they were still Sci Fi.) Or did I just accidently end up in a different timeline where it hasn't been done before? Tamoh Penikett's been having problems with the ladies well before he met Echo.
